New Brighton Park

Good-sized park tucked on the shore of the Burrard Inlet between port facilities. It provides an interesting, grittier view of the North Shore mountains with the port facilities and Second Narrows Bridge in sight. Amenities include playing fields, a children's playground, a beach and a trail along the shore. There is also the New Brighton Pool, a heated outdoor pool that is usually open from the Victoria Day long weekend to Labour Day (late May to early Sept).

Address: 3201 New Brighton Rd
Getting there: head north on Commissioner St from McGill and make a left onto New Brighton Rd just before the checkpoint to the port
Price: The park is free, $3-6 for the pool
